The overly told story of a group of friends who share a dark secret that keeps them connected through the years even as some grow apart. What I felt was gonna be a three star read quickly turned into a five star. Andrew Larimer comes back to his old home town to be the lawyer for an old friend. This sets into motions events that bring up their dark past. More secrets are being kept. A darkness is growing slowly taking over the town. Is there light at then end of this nightmarish tunnel?

Tiernan de Haas parents have passed away. She is sent to live with her stepuncle and his two sons, her stepcousins. They are now living in the same house, snowed in for months in the winter. Now, please excuse me while I wash my eyes out with bleach.

I waited so long for this to become available at my library!
Lucy and Savvy are best friends in a small Texas town until Savvy is found dead, and everyone thinks Lucy did it. With not enough hard evidence and a head injury blocking her memories of that night, Lucy is never charged. She is also never forgiven. She moves to LA, living a quiet life with her boyfriend whom she doesn't like, working at a job she hates. Until Ben, the host of the Listen For The Lie podcast, turns her world upside down. He decides this is the case he wants to do a show on.
Now, with Lucy and Ben in Texas, old friends are reunited, old enemies are still at war, and new memories are coming back to Lucy—memories of what really happened that night. Did she really kill her best friend, or was it someone else?

What can I say? I'm a sucker for a dark retelling of fairy tales, Peter Pan being my favorite. On her 18th birthday, Winnie is kidnapped by Peter Pan. It's said that one of the women in her family stole his shadow. Without it, he and the island are dying. Unlike the women before her, though, Winnie is not scared. She plans on getting back home with her sanity intact. Is that what she really wants?

This one was 50/50 for me. It started out well and good. Then, way too far fetched. Then, realed itself back in to be kinda believable. The ending, however.... I don't know. Caz set off on a cruise line with her boyfriend to New York. After a diner, she goes to sleep, waking up alone. There (at first) is no one else on the ship. Eventually, she finds three other cruise goers. The group quickly find they are on a game show that none of them remember signing up for. Through thirst, starvation, and beyond dangerous tasks, who will come out the winner of this nightmarish game show?

Wow, this book. It made me angry. Sad. Angry again. A child is brought into the ER clearly abused and neglected. Christopher a surgeon assigned to the child instantly falls in love with her. He speaks with his wife Hannah a nurse about fostering her. Janie the abandoned child comes with a lot of baggage and mental health issues. But the couple are determined to help her and show her a loving home.
When the opportunity comes to adopt they jump in board even with the difficult time they have been having. Things quickly turn dark forth is family as Hannah becomes pregnant and Janies issues worsen. This family is sent into a spiral and it seems nothing is helping. How much could you take? What's it feel like to fear your own child? What is Janie capable of?

I started reading this book a few months back and quickly DNF'd it. However, I kept seeing it pop up on booktok and decided to give it another go.
A muerder suspect is killed in the tragic events of 9/11, and her DNA just identified 20 years later. A well-known and popular news reporter dives into this new finding. Pulling a FBI agent out of retirement for help. What happens next is pages of twists and turns. Is the FBI agent there to help or does he have other business to take care of? Is the news reporter in it just for the story or to clear her families name? And who really did kill the once famous author?

What an amazing read! Couples are brought to an island to shoot a reality show. But it seems already done. It seems quick and unfinished. It seems off. When the crew takes off one night and a storm hits the island, those who survived the night must figure out what to do next. But when they need to stick together something or someone is pulling them apart. Now, they need to find a way off the island. They need to survive to heat and the lack of water. They need to survive the unknown and each other.
